LOCATION: Wrangell St. Elias National Park Tucked inside the vast landscape of the biggest protected Wilderness area on earth, 100 miles beyond the road, in the heart of a UNSECO World Heritage Monument and the largest National Park in North America; Ultima Thule represents the premier wilderness adventure destination while incorporating a level of luxury unparalleled in such remote corners of the earth.
ULTIMA THULE, defined as ‘the land remote beyond reckoning,’ was built from the realization that indulging creature comforts and overwhelming the senses are ideal ingredients for once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This unique and timeless Lodge has adopted a style of “no roughing it” luxury that only enhances the already indescribable setting. Yet the lodge is simply the basecamp in a place where adventure is not dictated by itineraries.
Each day, the weather is considered and safari flight adventures begin. The light bush airplanes are specifically designed to access off the beaten path places while ensuring minimal impact to the natural world and a heightened level of personal experience. Guests find themselves in a world removed from civilization and the press of humanity while stopping for lunch in the middle of the largest (non-polar) glacier on earth; on top of a high alpine plateau to walk among arctic flowers and sample wild berries; next to a salmon stream fishing alongside grizzly bears, or soaring among 14 - 18,000 foot peaks along the way to the Pacific coastline to watch 1000 year old glacier ice crash into the surf.
In the midst of all this grandeur, the thing that makes Ultima Thule truly special is the authenticity experienced on a human level. Here guests are welcomed into the daily lives of the Claus’s – A family living the dream of wilderness adventure and stewardship in a land that truly is beyond.

The promise of fresh snowfall and all that soft white powder that piles on the mountaintops is setting our Alpine radar on high alert as we head into the winter season. While we love a day on the slopes as much as the next Olympian, we have even more love for the après-ski hangouts and hotels that offer cozy vibes, beautiful backdrops and design-savvy digs. Tag along as we traipse across the snowy globe in search of our next shred spot.
